Kelly lives on Bainbridge Island, Washington with her husband and two children.

Inspiration:

I am fascinated by light and color. I’m continually inspired by nature – the sky, the water, the light – and I find it hard to sit still when I see a great combination of all three. In this painting I used contrasting colors and the physicality of the dripping paint to create a sense of space in a watery landscape.
